CCl. ZOJu, . .
We arrived here on Saturday
morning last, where reception
awaited us so unexpected and fiat
tering that it seems impossible for
us to tear away from ourold friends,
hence, instead of now being on
our way home we are still here
and will be until Monday next.
when our face will be turned to
ward the "moral center"
Yesterday, while walking the
streets Of Wyandotte, Kas., who
should accost us but Eli Ii. Chan
dler. He had seen our name
chronicled as a new arri, al and
put himself ont OF the wav to visit
us and enquire as to the status of
White Oaks. 1t took us but a
little while to tell him all we knew,
when he told us IN turn that he
was now engaged in business in
Kansas City, but only God and
Eli knows what his business is, and
neither were confidential enough
to inform us. Certain we feel how
ever, that he has no stamp mill
here, though his appearance would
indicate that he is making stamps.
Never did we see Il place i'm

/ The cause is, that the old clique
is still in existence, and in full anC
absolute control OF the finances OF
the Territory, and after Governor
Ross has had opportunity in fact,
to enact such a change as would
benefit the entire people OF the
Territory.
Prior to the convening of the
last legislature, Gov. Ross declared
that the adoption of his financial
policy would put territorial scrip
at par within 80 days. such has
not been the realization. for the
scrip is not worth over y per cent,
to-day. The cause is the failure
of Gov. Ross to release the terito-
rial finances from the old regime.
The cattle interest of the Terri
tory pays more than eighty per ct.
of the total taxes, hence, that in
terest is called upon to tprotest
against the neglect of Gov. Ross
to properly account for the failure
Of the administration, from a fl
nancial stand point.
The purpose Of Gov. Ross has
been, we believe, to MAINTAIN an
economical administration, but his
efforts of economy have been more
than set off by the excesses carried
on by the enemies of good govern
ment and under the protection of
the executive.
Under the protection of the ex.
ecutive, because when Gov Ross
had the opportunity to make a
change, consulted solely his per
sonal preference. and not the well
tare of the people Of the Territory. |
Should New Mexico become a
State within the next six years,
Edmund q. Ross will not be vim
dicated by being sent to the [. S.
Senate.
There's rod in pickle for Gov.
Ross and, when he least expects it,
the application OF the rod will ope-
rate paralysis Of all hopes,
deadening of every prospect.

The inlmical position Of the ter
ritorial administration towards the
cattle interest is one which NAV
well argue the necessity of the cat
tic men to protect themselves from
an unjust discrimination.
Were the distavor of the execu
tive of the territory based upon a
relative principle Of administration
we would give Gov. Ross the cred
1t OF honest convic ions, and argue
with him the soundness of his
views but when he makes the
substance of his "Carlisle letter
the basis Of a general onslaught
upon the greatest financial interest
of New Mexico, we look for the
sable hued Senegambian in the
wood-plle.
In his annual report, the Cover
nor OF New Mexico gives as the
cause Of increasing indebtedness
OF the Territory, the imperfect
system Of collecting taxes,
Nothing ofthe kind.

Why The Grand Army Men Oppose
the Presidents Administration

The managers of the Democrat,
party are tretted almost beyonC
endurance by the continued mani
festation of q. A. K. hostility. .-
1t is evident to the dullest com
prehension that the ill-will is not
all on the surface, as the Cleveand
organ-grnders wonld be pleased
to have themselves and their idol
believe. The great mass of veter-
ans entertain a settled dislike for
the Democratic President and for
the Democratic Administration, A
and no amount of disclaiming to
the contrary can alter the facts.
The veterans are not oppoaed to
President Cleveland simply be-
cause he vetoed a large number
OF private pension bills, or because
he placed the seal OF his disappro-
val on the dependent pension bill.
These are incidents which serve to
indicate the drift OF the presiGen-
tial mind, however, and they have
naturally been seized upon as fit
themes for discussion.
The trouble is that the admins
tration has gone out Of its way to
show its contempt for the senti-
ment of loyalty that moves the
masses. Veterans have been kick
ed out of office by the wholesale,
not because they were incompe-
teut, but because they were ex-sol-
diers and their places have been
filled by eX-Contederates and men
who were conspicuous sympa-
thlzers with the South not be
cause they We're better qualified
to discharge the duties of the va
Gated offices than their immediate
predecessors, but because they had
proved their love for and loyalty
to the lost cnuse. The veterans
are not a class of ofhce-holders,
and they are usually men Of cour
age and of intelligence. When
they and the idea they stand for
receive slap in the face they feel
the sting, and no amount Of argu-
ment can convince, them that Il
love-tap was intended instead OF
an insult.

Snake Like Twins

From Lathrop, Mo, comes the
following yarn About four mos
ago, Mrs, Lettes, wife of farmer
near there. was in the garden with
her son, when two snakes were
seen fighting, and she told her son
o kill them. Taking a hoe he
mashed both their heads, Mrs.
Lettes intentlv watching him all
the time. October 10th, twins
were born to Mrs. Lettes. The
heads OF both were flat and resem-
blcd those of snakes, while their
forked tongues shoot ont constant
II. No attempt has been made to
dress the monstrocitles, and they
have been kept in Seperate boxes.
The moment they are put together
they commence to fight and shoot
out their tongues in a horrible
manner. They are at present alive
and well.

liz FARMERs. ALLowANcE.


When an organization of what
ever kind 1t may be, holds itsel
aloof from the commonalty O
mankind, the American people arC
inclined to ask what there is il
the'institution that needs be Gov
cred up and hidden. And from
that very feature OF our nationa
character will result the death of
all social organizations that do not
plainly make known their aims
and purposes. The Farmers ALI
ance. does this, in a goody-goody
sort of a way, but that her express
sion of purpose is but a word.mon-
gering to evade the issue, none
who understand methods will deny.
The recent exhibition of respect
ful liberation by the Knights of La
Dor, at Minneapolis, toward the
representatives OF the Farmers
Alliance, displayed most emphati-
cally the distrust the leaders of
the great society of workingmen
feel for the Potatoe Barons.
No doubt an organized resistance
to the power of the produce tnar
ket, as controlled by stock specu-
lation, would be of benefit to all
people but for the farmers to pro-
claim "none but farmers on
guard" is an exhibition of idiocy
second only to " We, the peo )le
of England" in the persons Of the
Tooley street tailors.
Imagine only farmers in control,
and because they be farmers, and
you will have the delightful era Of
corn stalk politics, potatoe-bug leg
islation, and Il craps-is-bad admin
istration Of justice by barley jurors
and squash judges.
The farmer is the best citizen in
America, his life and calling the
purest III every sense ; and he IS
looked upon, universally as an
honest man.
Wherefore we do pronounce all
rfforts OF a secret kind by a few
grub-staked prodders at the soil to
compromise the true farmer of
Il slander and an insult
that we resent with all the power
IF our nature, that onr acknOwl-
edged honesty as people may re
main unimpeached before the
whole OF the civilized world.

find it very much to their advan,
tage. The truth is that the Presi-
dent has little or nothing to do with
matters directly affecting the daily
interest of American voters and tax

THE QUESTION OF PARKS.
What Commissioner Van SIyke
Saws of the CoupciI,S a ct;rn

What Commissioner Van Slyke
Says of the Councils 4 action.
When questioned as to his views of
the action of the council refusing to
issue any bonds for the extension of
Central park, or for any parks, until the
park commission had devised and sub
mitted a system of parks, Chairman Van
Slyke, of the park commission, said yes
terday afternoon:
don't think there is any split or friction
in the matter. l have talked with n good
many aldermen, and the majority tell me
that what they are opposed to is the enlarge
ment OF Central park. It's tho fault of the
law more than the council, although the law
land for parks. OF course the legislature
could only give the council power
and authority to issue the bonds, leaving
the question of raising money discretionary
with the council. But if we should so to
work and fix up our parks, and condemn
land IL would be an obligation which the
city would have to meet. In our executive
meeting yesterday we thought there would be
no trouble with the council. II is aqueStion,
l think, when you come right down to the
point, II majority OF the council was really
in favor of that resolution. You know how
those things are. Matters are left to commit
tees and sometimes the members of the coun-
Gil are in hurry to adjourn, and they vote
upon these matters without giving them due
thought and attention. True, the council
can block the commission at any time it
wants TO. We can go on ard lay out park,
but if some alderman objects to its location
the council may refuse TO issue bonds.
Mr.. Van Slyke referred to the law
creating the park commission, and he
read the portion defining its powers and
duties and authorizing the council to
issue the S250,000 park bonds. Section 3
empowers the commission and makes it
its duty to devise system of parks, and
survey and plat the same, and section
authorizes the commission to obtain
title TO the land required. Section 5
gives the commission, i'll conjunction
with the board of public works, full
power to condemn property for parks
cOrdance with the law, and then, if the
council should refuse to issue the nee
esSary bonds, the work of the commits
sion is most completely blocked.
